The exploration of Melchizedek and Jesus' high priestly ministry naturally progresses to a discussion of the new covenant on which the ministry is based. Why is this a better covenant? Because it writes the law of God not on tablets of stone but on the human heart. Thus, it makes possible for human beings to know God in a true and meaningful way.
Main Points:
- The Heavenly Temple
- The Law Written On The Heart
- They Shall Know The Lord
Application Questions:
- In what sense is the law of God written on your own heart?
- What does it mean for you to "know the Lord"?
- How is forgiveness of sins related to knowledge of the Lord?
